8 SLEEPOVER AT THE FIRE STATION

CHAPTER 8 SLEEPOVER AT THE FIRE STATION Asleepover at the fire station. That sounds like fun," Claire's mom said. "So I can go?" Claire asked. "Yes," her mom replied. "I hope you find the fire station ghost," her dad said. "And I'm glad you found the other ghost. The one that was lost." "Thanks, Dad," Claire said. Little John glowed. "I... wasn't... lost...," he wailed. "I... always... knew... where... I... was." "Yes, well..." Claire's dad smiled as though

第八章在消防站过夜在消防站过夜 听起来很有趣，”克莱尔的妈妈说。 “那么我可以走了？”克莱尔问道。 “是的，”她妈妈回答。“我希望你能找到消防站的鬼魂，”她爸爸说。 “我很高兴你找到了另一个鬼魂。 就是丢失的那个。”“谢谢，爸爸，”克莱尔说。 小约翰容光焕发。“我……不是…… 失去了…他哀号道。“我…… 总是……知道……哪里…… 我…是。”“是的,好……”克莱尔的爸爸似乎笑了

he didn't know what to say to that. Kaz had a feeling Claire's dad was still getting used to the idea that there were ghosts in the library. That ghosts really existed. "It's too bad you didn't talk to the ghost at the fire station," Kaz said to Little John while Claire packed her bag. Little John rubbed Cosmo's belly. "I told you. He was big. And scary." "Did the ghost see you?" Claire asked Little John. "Did he know you were there?" "I don't know," Little John said. "I was watching TV, but I heard him in the hallway. He was moaning and groaning, and sort of swaying back and forth. Like this." He raised his arms and teetered from side to side "He was soooo big. I was scared, so I hid. I didn't see him during the day. Only at night."

他不知道该说些什么。 卡兹有一种感觉，克莱尔的爸爸还在适应图书馆里有鬼的想法。 鬼魂真的存在。 “你没有和消防站的鬼魂说话真是太糟糕了，”卡兹对小约翰说，克莱尔在收拾行李。 小约翰揉了揉科斯莫的肚子。 “我告诉过你。他很大。和可怕的。” “鬼魂看见你了吗？”克莱尔问小约翰。 “他知道你在那儿吗？”“我不知道，”小约翰说。 “我当时正在看电视，但我听到他在走廊里。 他不停地呻吟着，前后摇晃着。 这样的。”他举起双臂，摇摇晃晃地左右摇晃，“他太大了。 我很害怕，所以我躲了起来。我白天没见过他。 只在晚上。”

Claire zipped up her suitcase. "Well, I'm not afraid. And neither is Kaz." "Uhhh...," Kaz said. That wasn't exactly true. "Are you guys ready?" Claire asked. She held out her water bottle. Little John backed away. "I think I'll stay here with Beckett and Cosmo tonight," he said.

克莱尔拉上了行李箱的拉链。 “嗯，我不害怕。卡兹也是。” “呜……卡兹说。这并不完全正确。 “你们准备好了吗？”克莱尔问道。 她拿出她的水瓶。 小约翰往后退。“我想今晚我会和贝克特和Cosmo呆在这里，”他说。

"Really?" Kaz said. If Little John was so scared of the ghost that he didn't even want to go to the fire station, maybe Kaz shouldn't go, either? Little John shrugged. "You guys are the detectives. Not me." That was true. Kaz and Claire were a team. Scared or not, he had to go with her. So he shrank down... down... down... and went into the water bottle. Claire grabbed her overnight bag, detective bag, and water bottle. Then she and Kaz set off for the fire station. Brynlee, RJ, and Sparky were waiting at the main entrance when Claire arrived. "Hi, Claire!" the twins greeted her. "Woof! Woof!" Sparky got up on his hind legs and sniffed at Claire's water bottle. Brynlee laughed. "I don't know why he likes your water bottle so much." Claire and Kaz grinned at each other. It wasn't the water bottle that Sparky liked. It was what, or

“真的吗?”Kaz说。如果小约翰被鬼吓得连消防站都不想去，也许卡兹也不该去？ 小约翰耸了耸肩。“你们是侦探。 不是我。”这是真的。卡兹和克莱尔是一个团队。 不管害怕与否，他都得和她一起去。 所以他退缩了……下来…… 下来……然后进入水瓶。 克莱尔拿了她的旅行袋，侦探袋和水瓶。 然后她和和子出发去了消防站。 克莱尔到达时，布林利、RJ和斯帕奇正在大门口等着。 “嗨，克莱尔！”双胞胎向她打招呼。 “汪!汪!”斯帕奇用后腿站起来，嗅了嗅克莱尔的水瓶。 Brynlee笑了。“我不知道他为什么这么喜欢你的水瓶。” 克莱尔和卡兹相视而笑。 那不是斯帕奇喜欢的水瓶。 这是什么，或者

rather who, was inside the water bottle. "Hi, Sparky," Kaz said. He wished he'd thought to bring Cosmo. Sparky and Cosmo would probably have a lot of fun together. "Sparky still won't go into the fire station through the garage," RJ said as he opened the main door to the fire station. Sparky charged through the door. "He still won't go in the TV room, either," Brynlee added. "So I think the ghost is still here." There was only one light on in the back of the office. Nobody worked in the office on a Friday night. Claire set her bags down on a chair. "Let's see if we can find the ghost," she said as she got out her ghost glass and ghost catcher. Kaz passed through the bottle and expanded to his usual size. "Woof! Woof!" Sparky leaped up to lick Kaz, but his tongue passed all the way through him. "Watch the tongue, Sparky!" Kaz said as

而是谁在水瓶里。 “嗨，斯巴克，”卡兹说。他真希望自己能带Cosmo来。 Sparky和Cosmo在一起可能会很开心。 “斯巴克还是不愿意从车库进入消防站，”RJ一边说一边打开通往消防站的大门。 斯巴克冲进了门。 “他还是不愿意去看电视，”布林利补充道。 “所以我认为鬼魂还在这里。” 办公室后面只有一盏灯是亮着的。 星期五晚上没有人在办公室工作。 克莱尔把包放在椅子上。 “让我们看看能不能找到鬼，”她一边说一边拿出她的捉鬼镜和捉鬼器。 和子穿过瓶子，膨胀到平常的大小。 “汪!汪!”火花跳起来舔和子，但他的舌头穿过了他。 “当心你的舌头，斯巴克！”卡兹说

Claire and the others moved down the hallway. He swam hard to catch up. Sparky stayed close to Kaz. Dick and David were in the TV room. "Hi, kids," they said when Claire, Brynlee, and RJ walked in. Kaz sailed behind them, but Sparky dropped to his belly in the doorway and let out a doggy groan. "Hi, Dad," Brynlee said. "We're looking for the ghost." "Good. I hope you find it," Dick said. The firefighters returned to their TV show. Claire wandered slowly around the room, her ghost glass in one hand and her ghost catcher in the other. Neither she nor Kaz saw any ghosts.

克莱尔和其他人沿着走廊往前走。 他拼命地游，想赶上来。Sparky一直靠近Kaz。 迪克和大卫在电视室。 “嗨，孩子们，”当克莱尔、布林利和RJ走进来时，他们说。 卡兹在他们后面航行，但火花在门口扑倒在地，发出一声狗似的呻吟。 “嗨，爸爸，”布林利说。“我们在找那个鬼。” “很好。我希望你能找到它。”迪克说。 消防队员们回到了他们的电视节目中。 克莱尔一手拿着捉鬼镜，一手拿着捉鬼器，在房间里慢慢走来走去。 她和卡兹都没看见鬼。
